    Hi my name is Tracy and I have a little girl called Matilda who is just 5 months old. I am finding things quite tough at the moment as her father is not around and would love to do domething and meet some new people. I went back to the UK for 3 months when she was born and now we are back i am finding it quite hard to settle back in. It would be great to hear of anything you have planned. x

I am homesick and missing my friends in the UK. There is a lovley playgroup at St Lukes Church on a Tuesday morning 9.30am to 11:30am if you are anywhere near Northcote. I would love to meet you. :-)

    Hi there, I am a single mum of one, my nine year old son. We also live on the North Shore, and I found your website today. I would love to meet up with other single parents in the area. We moved here four years ago from Zimbabwe and still get a little blue!
    Thanks :)

    Hi, I was just googling single parents and came across your site. I am a single mum to a 7 year old we are in the Royal Oak area – I work full time but am always looking for like minded people to catch up with over the weekends so would love to hear from anyone who would be interested.
    Thanks.

    Hi there, I have been a single parent for the past 2 years (two little girls of 3 and 5) and as yet have not met another single parent. Are there any support groups that run in the eastern bays, around St Heliers/Glendowie area?
